The Kentucky Rural Water Association, in conjunction with the National Rural Water Association, has designed an Identity Theft Prevention Program Compliance Model to assist water and wastewater utilities with compliance of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Identity Theft Red Flag Rule. The rule requires utilities to develop an "Identity Theft Prevention Program." The program consists of selecting methods to detect red flags when accounts are fraudulent, procedures to prevent the establishment of false accounts, procedures to ensure existing accounts are not being manipulated, and procedures to respond to identity theft.
All utilities are required to comply with the FTC's "Identity Theft Red Flag Rule" even if only nominal information such as name, phone number and address are collected.
Your utility governing body will need to adopt this or a similar Identity Theft Prevention Program Compliance model by November 1, 2008.
